Nasal Septal Fibroma Tumor Resection: A Rare Case Report
Abstract
Abstract Fibromas are benign, slow-growing tumors arising from fibrous connective tissue. Although they may occur in various anatomical locations, fibromas of the nasal cavity are uncommon, and origin from the nasal septum is exceptionally rare, with only a few cases reported in the medical literature. We present a rare case of nasal septal fibroma in a 48-year-old male who presented with progressive bilateral nasal obstruction and nasal deformity over several years. Radiological imaging revealed a well-defined septal mass without surrounding tissue invasion. Complete surgical excision was performed through an open dorsal nasal approach. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of fibroma. Postoperatively, the patient experienced complete symptom resolution with no recurrence. This case highlights the importance of considering benign fibrous tumors in the differential diagnosis of long-standing nasal obstruction.
